Paramount+ Micro Buffering

[Brother52]

I'm having issues with very brief pauses in the Paramount+ app on my LG TV, the pause is imperceptible for the most part but the app flicks up the play icon centre screen when it happens, which is about every 3 minutes.  I've tried all the obvious stuff (reinstall app, power cycle everything) with no luck.  I was wondering if there might be a routing issue that I can add an entry into the router routing tables for or something.

Anyone have any ideas?

HI @Brother52 

Is your TV connected via WiFi or it is connected using an Ethernet cable (cat 5e or above)?

OK, thanks @Brother52 

Could you try another ethernet cable, just to see if it makes a difference please?

Will do but all other 4K streaming apps work fine
